Wonderful as usual, staff and amenities make an enjoyable stay into a stay to be remembered. Can't wait to get back. This has to be one of the best run properties along the Gulf Coast, a bit pricier than some but well worth it.

The hotel is run-down and poorly managed. The rooms need to be updated. We went two days without having our room made-up. I had to call the manager, before we could get the room cleaned! There are much better hotels in the area.

Just returned from a four-night stay at the Hilton Pensacola Beach Gulf Front. It was the first vacation my wife and I took with our newborn, and we couldn't have had a better experience.

We stayed in an oceanview 2BR condo, in the new tower which was built in 2007. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-appointed, and the panoramic views of the ocean were breathtaking. It was incredible to have a full kitchen and laundry facilities in-unit.

The hotel grounds were well-maintained -- there was an indoor pool, and two outdoor pools and an outdoor jacuzzi, plenty of lounge chairs around the pool (though the hotel wasn't full during our visit), and a good poolside bar that served decent drinks and solid lunch fare. The outdoor pools were freezing cold, but we otherwise had no complaints. The pool areas connects to the beach via a short boardwalk, and beach chairs are available for rent from a private company for $5/hr or $30/day. The white sand beaches of the gulf are among the best we've ever experienced, and the weather in mid-May was ideal (highs in the high-70s).

We ate breakfast in the hotel restaurant, H2O, daily and were consistently impressed by the quality and variety of food available. Shirley made fantastic omelets and french toast, and the biscuits and gravy on the buffet were the best we've tasted. As a Hilton Diamond member, continental breakfast was complimentary and there was a $3 upcharge for the full buffet-- well worth it. We had an early flight on the last morning of our stay, and I was impressed when the restaurant staff offered to-go boxes for our breakfast so we could eat on-the-run (in contrast to other buffet experiences where you could only eat in the restaurant).

The hotel staff was thoughtful and helpful. We were particularly impressed with the bellman, Lucas, who made us a map of local restaurants to visit and even took the parking pass out to our car when we forgot to do so ourselves. We had great seafood at Peg-Leg Pete's and the Grand Marlin -- I'd highly recommend both.

Finally, I'll note that the hotel was very family-friendly which made us feel more comfortable traveling with our child for the first time. At the same time, there were also a number of couples without kids staying there, and they certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves as well.

Such a wonderful view from the 13th floor of the entire island and the gulf...just didn't stay long enough, and wasn't in the room enough to enjoy it. I really wish we had stayed another night (or two). The bathroom was big enough, but the space is not utilized as well as it could have been. Instead of a small tub and an extremely small shower, I would much rather have had one large shower, possibly with two shower heads.

By every measure, the hotel was wonderful starting with the valet service. We had lots of luggage. Two valets were there to help the four of us to our two rooms. Check in was friendly and efficient. The pool and beach access were wonderful. We had a relaxing couple hours after a long drive to get there. However, lunch in the hotel restaurant was less than we expected for a Hilton Property, The server seemed more interested in chatting with friends among the staff than serving. The food for three of the four of us came out all wrong. At breakfast the next day we had a wonderful server, but he had to stand in the kitchen in order for my oatmeal to be cooked. However, the valet/concierge Thomas sent us to Peg Leg Pete's for dinner and it was terrific! We recommend that restaurant highly.

I've stayed at this property once each month since December for business. The property is immaculate and the staff seems to seek you out to make eye contact and greet you. I find this somewhat unusual (and appreciated) for a beach hotel driven more by leisure travel than for business. Look for Nick. He's the guy with the walking stick. Nick is legally blind and works in guest relations. He wears a coat and tie every day. Amazing man and positive indicator about how classy this property is. I would return for leisure travel, for sure.
